It?s not only because we?re designated as the primary institution for teacher education in Colorado. Nor is it only because we?re nationally recognized for excellence in teacher education. It?s also the quality of your learning experience, and the people learning along with you. And there?s our focus on hands-on learning, including 160 hours of practicum fieldwork, plus a full-time, 16-week student teaching experience in an elementary classroom. Equally important is the unique level of personal involvement and mentorship your professors provide?they directly supervise teacher candidates in the field. As a program designed for both American and international students, a wealth of diverse perspectives will enrich your education and career.
